Cavalieri's Principle: Volume Formulas Argument

Cavalieri’s Principle states that any two objects with the same cross sectional areas and heights must have the same volume.

• True

• False - the cross sectional areas are not relevant

• False - only the slant height is relevant

• False - even if they have the same cross sectional areas and heights, they cannot have the same volume.

Based on Cavalieri's Principle, will the two prisms have the same volume?

• No, they will not be same. Although the heights are the same, the cross-sections are different shapes. 

• Yes, the heights of both prisms are the same and they have the same cross-sectional area. Therefore, they will have the same volume.

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid using Cavalieri's principle?

• Divide the surface area of the solid by its height.

• Integrate the cross-sectional area of the solid with respect to the height.

• Multiply the base area of the solid by its height.

• Find the average of the base area and the surface area of the solid.
